Enrollment

The Suquamish Tribal Enrollment Office processes enrollment applications for membership in the Suquamish Tribe. It also handles lineage testing for Enrollment, as well as licensing qualified Tribal members for salmon or shellfish harvesting activities, as guaranteed by the Point Elliot Treaty of 1855. The office is responsible for all data pertaining to the enrollment of an individual into the Tribe.  They work closely with outside agencies to obtain the information required for enrollment.
